At the current rate of decline, many of the rain forest animals could become extinct in less than 10 years.

Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.

With 30 digital camera traps, Kakati captured not only the cats but a number of other rare forest animals between 2007 and 2009.
